Chapter 620: When the Storm Rises Again
"What's the big deal?"
"According to the people of the Secret Hall, it is the people of the Secret Hall who fight them."
Cui Geng was stunned at the time, and said, "Dark Hall? Li Xiu? β
Wei Shifang said: "The person next to Li Longji has been disguised, it should be Li Xiu." This time it's a bit troublesome, since the people in the secret hall can recognize the people in the secret hall, then the people in the secret hall should be able to recognize the people in the secret hall, and then associate your true identity. After all, there are only a few people who are quite talented in this world. β
Cui Geng pondered for a while and said, "From Luoyang to Chengdu, it will take a month to confirm the whereabouts of this official and then return." In this way, we must solve Wei Yuanzhong's case within a month. Without further ado, hurry up and notify Song Zhongcheng and seize the Feijiang Bookstore! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Cui Geng went back to sleep, and the next morning, he reported to Zhang Changzong that he had killed Song Jingang.
Zhang Changzong was very satisfied, and let Cui Geng rest for a few days, he didn't have to worry about the assassination case, he already had eyebrows.
Cui Geng couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart, he had a fart eyebrow, didn't he just arrest a lot of innocent eunuchs and palace maids? Can this ask a fart? Hmph, presumably this afternoon, you won't be so calm.
However, in the afternoon, not only Zhang Changzong was shocked, but Cui Geng was also shocked.
Song Jing was very talented, and soon raided the Feijiang Bookstore and found Zhang Changzong's account book of greedy ink. However, accidentally, he also found one more thingββγ "The Secret of the Crane Prison".
I don't know who wrote this book, it is a novella, which details the affairs of Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi after the two brothers entered the palace and Wu Zetian.
The most important thing is that the idea of this book is not healthy at all, and it is all about greeting all the way down, and it is completely a little yellow essay with a colorful voice.
This is a big question, first, why did this Feijiang Bookstore print this thing? Just for the money? The risk and the profit are not proportional at all. The second is also the most critical: Cui Geng heard Zhang Changzong say that although some details written here are taken for granted, some details are true. What does this mean? There are ghosts in the palace! With Song Jingang's ability, he can't look at Wu Zetian's Living Spring Palace, and there must be someone else who leaked the secret.
As a result, Her Majesty the Empress was furious and ordered Zhang Changzong to temporarily put down the assassination case and handle the case of "The Secret of the Crane Supervisor".
However, isn't there still a ledger for the Zhang family to share the spoils? The ministers finally found a breakthrough, how could they let the two pass the test so easily?
One after another went to the table for impeachment.
Wu Zetian had no choice but to remove the sons of the Zhang family from their official positions. However, for Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, she was reluctant to punish them.
In the end, Wu Zetian's general Tang Xiujing and Prime Minister Wei Juyuan jointly investigated the case.
The evidence is conclusive, is it possible to sentence Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yi to death? These two have not been embarrassed for long, Wu Zetian let Wei Juyuan serve as the governor of Yangzhou, and Tang Xiujing was the governor of Youzhou and Yingzhou, and the protector of Anton.
To put it simply, it is to order the two of them to go out.
This is the strategy of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys: a prime minister and a general, because they have a little bit to do with this matter, they are demoted and sent out, are you sure you want to wade into this muddy water?
After Prime Minister Wei Juyuan went out, the new one was Yang Zaisi. This person has repeatedly flattered Zhang Changzong, and today he has finally achieved a positive result.
He immediately found out the reason for pardoning the Zhang brothersβthe Zhang brothers had offered medicine (aphrodisiacs) to His Majesty, and His Majesty was in good health and in a happy mood after eating it. Is there a greater credit in the world than this?
As a result, the Zhang brothers just lost the official position of their relatives, and they successfully passed the test.
In addition, Wei Juyuan was originally considered a neutral person among the ministers, and now his position has been replaced by Yang Zaisi. Several four- and five-grade official positions were changed to a prime minister, and after careful calculation, in fact, the Zhang brothers still earned it, and they had no momentum for a while.
The Wu and Li families saw that they could not help Zhang Changzong and fulfilled their promise, and the crown prince Li Xian, the prime minister Li Dan, and the Taiping princess Li Lingyue went to the table and asked to crown Zhang Changzong as the king, but Wu Zetian rejected this suggestion
Three days later, these people went to the table again and asked to make Zhang Changzong king, and Wu Zecai promised to give Zhang Changzong the title of Duke of Ye.
Zhang Changzong himself also understands that this kind of king can't be done overnight, and he is not in a hurry. Anyway, in another year or two, the Wu and Li families will be on the table again, and this matter will probably be done.
During this time, it is okay to hang Wei Yuanzhong's case and keep peace with the Wu and Li families for the time being.
Now that he has this thought, Li Xian doesn't want to admonish him, and Cui Geng is also ready to find an excuse to run away, so that Cui Ying will disappear completely.
However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Prince East Palace, Qin Fangzhai.
Two men and a woman sit around a hu table, drinking slowly and chatting freely.
The female is the seventh daughter of the crown prince Li Xian, the princess of Yongtai, Li Xianhui, the male one is his husband, the successor of the Wei king Wu Yanji, and the other is his elder brother Shao Wang Li Chongrun.
At this time, Wu Yanji was already slightly drunk, his eyes were foggy, and he said to Li Chongrun: "Seeing that Your Majesty is already high in the Spring and Autumn Period, and time is short, after your father-in-law ascends the throne, brother, you are the prince of the East Palace, but you have to take care of your brother-in-law!" β
"I can't talk about it, I can't talk about it." Li Chongrun waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty does not have a dragon to control Bintian on this day, and my father's position as the crown prince is not stable." β
"You mean my Uncle Liang Wang?"
"Not only him, but also the Zhang brothers."
Yongtai princess Li Xianhui is pregnant, at this time caressing her high bulging belly, and gossip with great interest: "I really haven't seen the Zhang brothers, I heard that Zhang Changzong, known as Lotus Liulang, is handsome and rare in the world, and he is more handsome than a woman, and I don't know if it's true or not." β
Wu Yanji said disdainfully: "What's the use of a man being good-looking? Zhang Liulang is just a face that entertains people with color. Speaking of which, he is also a son of a family and a descendant of Prime Minister Zhang Xingcheng. Such an act is really insulting. If Zhang Xiangquan has knowledge, I'm afraid he will have to jump out of the grave! β
Li Chongrun laughed and said, "Isn't that a fraudulent corpse?" However, if you think about it, it doesn't matter if you cheat the corpse. I think, after that Zhang Xingcheng jumped out, I'm afraid I will be angry and die again, haha! β
Li Xianhui said: "Look at what you said, how can it be so exaggerated? In my opinion, with this rebellious grandson, I'm afraid that Zhang Xing's achievements at the beginning were not a good thing, but they were just good at covering up at the time. β
"Well, this is reasonable, I don't think this Zhang family has a good thing."
Wu Yanji, Li Chongrun, and Li Xianhui said a word, and with the strength of wine, they mocked the Zhang family very much.
However, they didn't expect that the wall had ears, and the news quickly reached Zhang Changzong's ears.
Boom!
A teacup was slammed to the ground and shattered.
Zhang Changzong said angrily: "It's too much, it's too much." Li Xian, I originally wanted to live peacefully with you for a while, but I never expected that you would connive at your children to insult my ancestors and ancestors of the Zhang family! β
The person who reported the news said: "Li Xian is still second, the key is Wu Yanji, Li Chongrun, Li Xianhui, and please make a decision as soon as possible!" β
"So what else is there to say? They want to be happy, I'll let them be happy! β
After finishing speaking, Zhang Changzong shook his spirits and went straight to Tongtian Palace to find Wu Zetian to complain.
Of course, Wu Zetian doesn't care about the ancestors of the Zhang family, Zhang Changzong can't talk about this, but he has a way to make Wu Zetian think about it.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that the "Secret of the Crane Prison" must be a nobleman who bought off the eunuchs and maids in the palace, intending to ruin the reputation of Weichen and you. You said that the three of them were so contemptuous of Weichen, could it be that the three of them did this? β
"Well, it's possible!"
Wu Zetian thought of that little yellow article, his straight liver trembled, and said: "I am the Son of Heaven, what happened to how many male concubines there are, and these people are talking about it like this?" How unreasonable! Wan'er, pass on my will. β
"In!"
"Escort Wu Yanji, Li Chongrun, and Li Xianhui to Tongtian Palace...... Rod! β
